Icecast - Jun 2006 - problem with config file for jack with ices2-kh-2.0.0-kh60a

hi, 

i am desperately trying to get this version of ices up and running on debian 
etch. i used the apt repository at http://www.fbriere.net/debian/ices2/ but i 
found this also affects the "official" source package at 
http://mediacast1.com/~karl/
when i try to run an edited version of either the example file provided with 
the source package or the deb at /usr/share/doc/ices2-kh/ i get:

Failed to read config file "ices-jack.xml"

fbriere writes on his webpage: 

"Be aware that the XML syntax of the configuration file has been slightly 
changed in this version."

my problem is: in what way? i cannot find anywhere a solution. maybe someone 
in here could point me to what i need to change? 

thanks a lot in advance, 

tobias

The samples in conf/ should provide the easiest to see differences, I 
don't know where the debian package places them but they are in the 
source tarball.

As to why your xml is failing, I'd have to see it but I suspect you are 
missing the runner tags.

hi karl, 

thanks for your answer. in fact i have already tried your sample xml, as i 
said, which comes with the source package. this too fails with the same 
message. 

:~/ices2-kh-2.0.0-kh60a/conf$ ices2 ices-jack.xml
Failed to read config file "ices-jack.xml"

My bad.  I forgot to compile ices against the JACK library, thus
disabling support for it.  This will be fixed shortly.


Incidentally, Karl, _known_module() and _parse_input_param() could use a
little more verboseness, as they currently give no indication of what
caused their failure.
